US drones to fly over Libya after consulate attack

A report says US drones, already in Libya, are expected to continue operations in the African country following the violence in the city of Benghazi in which US ambassador to Libya was killed.
According to a Wednesday report posted on wired.com, US Army Lt. Col. Steve Warren said the military has been “flying CAPs (combat air patrols) since the war (in Libya) ended.”
The drones will be used in “spotting the perpetrators” of a recent attack on the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi, the report adds.
US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three staff members were killed in the attack on the US consulate building on September 11.
The US consulate incident took place after a group of people held a demonstration against an anti-Islam movie produced in the United States.
Outrage is growing across the Muslim world over the $5-million blasphemous movie that was financed by more than 100 Jews.
Washington has been evacuating most of its diplomatic staff from Libya to Germany following the attack.
US President Barack Obama has also ordered diplomatic missions in other countries to step up security.
The US navy has dispatched two guided missile destroyers and a 50-member marine unit to the African country.
